I went down the road
The road was muddy
I stubbed my toe
My toe was hurting

Two bars of washing powder
Two bars of soap
All gonna holler
Gonna holler billy goat
You all hid, yeah

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
Five potato, six potato
Seven potato, more

And if you hide behind my pie
I'm gonna stick it
Right in your eye
You all hid, yeah

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty
Twenty-five, thirty
Thirty-five, forty
Forty-five, fifty
You all hid, yeah

I went down the road
The road was muddy
I stubbed my toe
My toe was hurting

Poor boy jumped
To the bottom of the well
He swam like the devil
So he wouldn't go to Hell

Two bars of washing powder
Two bars of soap
All gonna holler
Gonna holler billy goat

And if you hide behind my pie
I'm gonna stick it
Right in your eye
You all hid, yeah

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
Five potato, six potato
Seven potato, more

Ready or not, here I come
Anybody round my place is it
